Tasting notes
Luscious yet lifted, this opens with ripe apricot, baked apple and honeyed citrus, edged with a delicate note of orange peel and gentle spice. This is Rotgipfler in dessert mode; rare, characterful, and unmistakably Austrian. You’re already in niche territory: one of the country’s indigenous grapes, shaped here into a beautifully balanced Auslese. Sweet, yes, but not heavy. There’s a bright line of acidity cutting through the richness, giving the wine poise and freshness, while the texture stays silky and precise rather than opulent. A lovely alternative to the usual sweet wine suspects. think less botrytis bomb, more orchard fruit purity with a subtle Alpine twist.
